The cook complained: "Since yesterday, there have been a lot fewer dishes. Although the old lady's is enough, the number of cases is a lot shorter. The old lady's favorite food in the past is gone. The old lady asked yesterday, and it was hard to cover up the past, but today is better, less than yesterday. How can this be cooked?

"The road has been closed by heavy rain in the past few days, maybe it's not easy to buy." Gu Wanyin sighed, and said softly to the cook: "Okay, it's not a big deal, the old lady must know the situation and won't blame you." It's just that you've worked hard these days. It's better to bother more and make some tricks to coax the old lady to eat. ”

After serving the old lady for a while a while, she realized that the old lady was not an ordinary picky. That's why the cook is so anxious.

The cook also sighed, and her round face was a little dejected: "That's all I can do." It's just that when the old lady scolded, she asked the princess to say a few more fair words for us. ”

"The old lady is reasonable, how can she reproach you?" Gu Wanyin smiled, and after a moment of silence, she said, "In this way, if you are really afraid of punishment, I will send someone to send some vegetables from my yard." It was sent to me by my mother's family, and I remember that many of them were liked by the old lady. ”

The cook's eyes lit up, as if she saw a way out. But then he hesitated again: "This ...... Not quite right? If we use it here, what will you and the prince do? ”

"It's settled, I'll have someone send it when I get back." Gu Wanyin's smile did not decrease, and she said generously and sincerely: "The prince has been busy these days, and he hasn't come back to eat, and we can't finish eating over there." In addition, there are also daily deliveries. ”

When it comes to this, the cook will naturally not refuse again. was overjoyed at the moment, and flattered: "The princess is really filial to the old lady." How many granddaughters-in-law like the princess can there be in the world? The old lady was sick before, and the princess was waiting for her clothes. Now I'd rather not eat it myself, but I have to hold on to the old lady first. ”

"Mama praised it." Gu Wanyin lowered her head and smiled shyly, "It's all as it should be." Then he raised his head again, and there was a bright light in his eyes, which was a little unquestionable: "It's a pity that others only think that I am deliberately pleasing the old lady." It's better not to spread the word. If it is known, it is not beautiful to chew out any words. ”

The cook had never seen her look like this before. Just when she was soft and kind, but at this time, when she looked at her like this, she felt a chill on her body, and hurriedly lowered her head and said respectfully: "Yes." The minions didn't dare to say anything. ”

See the cook respectfully. Gu Wanyin retracted her gaze and smiled again: "If there are any difficulties, you don't have to trouble the second wife all the time." Just look for me. If I can help, I will naturally help. You have served the old lady meritoriously, and I will never see you suffer for others; There's only one thing, I don't like people talking about me behind my back, so I ......"

"The minions understand, no matter who it is. Nor will a word be said indiscriminately. The cook hurriedly answered.

Gu Wanyin nodded with satisfaction: "It's not too early, you should be busy with you." With that, he turned around and went out. I went into the old lady's room and waited.

The old lady was actually awake, but she was used to lying down for a while, so someone had to stand by at all times in case the old lady wanted something.

Naturally, it is manna to guard. It's just that after Gu Wanyin came, she took the place of Ganlu. Ganlu stood two steps behind Gu Wanyin with her head down, neither too far away from the old lady, nor too close to the suspicion of stealing the limelight.

It's just that Gu Wanyin saw that Ganlu's face was not good today. There was a circle of blue under his eyes, obviously he didn't sleep well. I just don't know if I was busy doing things that delayed my rest, or was it because I was thinking about something that caused me to do this?

If it's the former, it's fine, but if it's the latter-Gu Wanyin looked sideways at the manna, the corners of her lips curled slightly, as if she was smiling.

"Nectar." After a while, the old lady spoke.

Manna hurriedly greeted the old lady and waited for her to dress and wash. Gu Wanyin took hands from time to time, and the two have cooperated many times, but they also have a tacit understanding.

As soon as the old lady got up, breakfast was brought to the kitchen, and the girl was set outside. Gu Wanyin and Ganlu helped the old lady over to eat left and right.

Sure enough, as soon as she saw the dishes on the table, the old lady frowned: "What's going on these days?" Why come and go with these dishes? I talked about the kitchen yesterday, why haven't you changed it today? ”

The girls naturally didn't dare to speak, only Ganlu rubbed the vest for the old lady, and persuaded softly: "The kitchen said yesterday that the road has been closed by heavy rain in the past few days, and many dishes can't be transported." The old lady will only be in a few days, and when the rain stops, it will naturally be easy to do. ”

"Isn't it?" Gu Wanyin took over the conversation in a soft voice: "As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the old lady will have a meal." The second aunt has always been filial, and she must always think of getting some for the old lady. If you punish someone for this and let the second aunt know, I'm afraid that you will blame her for being an old lady. ”

The old lady glanced at Gu Wanyin, and finally showed a smile, but she was still a little unhappy: "Since that's the case, that's it." ”

When the girls below heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Although the old lady will not treat them well, but if the old lady is really angry, they are still good? The second wife and the second master will not let them go easily. Not only were they relieved, but they also glanced at Gu Wanyin and Manna gratefully. If it weren't for the two of them talking, the old lady wouldn't have let go so quickly.

Without her favorite dishes, the old lady's appetite was not as good as before, and she only moved a few bites and put down her chopsticks and refused to eat again, no matter what others said.

Somehow, the old lady remembered the kimchi she had eaten a few days ago, and suddenly said, "Is there still that kimchi?" If there is, it would be nice to get some to eat. ”

Gu Wanyin was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll ask someone to send a jar over when I turn around, only one point, the old lady is not allowed to eat too much." If you eat too much, it is not good for the stomach. Won't you provoke me to be scolded when the time comes? ”

"Who dares to scold you?" Seeing her pitiful appearance, the old lady laughed: "You are the princess, and now your father-in-law and mother-in-law are not there, so you and Jing'er are the biggest;." ”

"If the prince knows that I got the kimchi for the old lady and caused you to eat too much and hurt your stomach, can you not scold me?" Gu Wanyin complained coquettishly, tilted her head and pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just that the prince doesn't scold me, I look at the old lady uncomfortable, I'm afraid that my heart is more uncomfortable than the prince scolding me!" So, old lady, you can do well, but don't be greedy and hurt me. ”

"You little girl, you are used to coaxing people, just like your third aunt." The old lady was so amused that she gasped for breath.

However, this back and forth has eased the atmosphere a lot. At least the old lady is not as gloomy and unhappy as Fang Cai.

After laughing for a while, the old lady suddenly sighed: "It's not much this year." If it doesn't rain, it's drought, and it's hard to ask for rain, but it's so scary. If...... I am afraid that many will suffer again. ”

Gu Wanyin's heart froze, it seemed that the old lady also guessed that the rain would not stop for a while. But he didn't dare to speak. How can such a thing be discussed at will?

After a pause, the old lady asked Zhou Ruijing again: "What are Jing'er busy with these days?" Why don't you see people every day? I also heard that he went out in the middle of the night the night before? It's so late, it's still raining, why are you still going out? ”

Gu Wanyin pursed her lips, although she didn't dare to hide it, she didn't dare to say it too seriously, so she only wrote lightly: "The prince said that he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he went to the embankment to take a look." ”

The old lady has lived for so many years, what has she not seen? At that moment, he guessed: "Could it be that the saint asked Jing'er to supervise the embankment?" ”

Gu Wanyin nodded, "Probably, the prince didn't say it, and I didn't ask." The affairs of the court, our women's family still don't take care of it well. Let's just take care of the affairs at home, so that the prince has no worries. ”

The old lady nodded and glanced at her approvingly: "You can think like this, naturally it is very right." Jing'er is running around outside, you just have to take care of the house. Beside something, it shouldn't be our cāo heart. The affairs of the court are all the affairs of the great masters. After a pause, he sighed again: "He has been tired for the past few days, you should do more dedication." When you come back from outside, you are cold and hungry, and you come back to eat a hot meal and drink a hot soup before you sleep. ”

"Well, yesterday I prepared ginseng chicken soup for the prince, and I drank a big bowl of hot water before I fell asleep." Gu Wanyin smiled lightly: "Today, the prince said that he wants to eat hot and sour noodle soup." I've already commanded the kitchen. ”

"Okay, with you taking care of him, my wife can rest assured." The old lady looked at her with relief and praised her rarely: "Although you are young, you are extremely sensible and clever, which is rare." Jing'er can marry you, which can be regarded as a blessing. The old lady sighed again and added a sentence in her heart, but it was a pity that she was not a famous lady in the end.

After talking for a while, there was a burst of laughter outside, and after listening to that voice, Gu Wanyin couldn't help but smile slightly-who was that voice, not the third wife?

Sure enough, a moment later, the third lady rushed in as soon as she lifted the curtain, shaking the water droplets on her body and complaining: "Oh, when will this rain stop?" It's really annoying, the new clothes, this is drenched again. If we continue like this, we may not have any clothes to wear! ”

As soon as the third wife's words fell, she heard the second wife's voice: "Presumably, it has been the work of the past few days, and it has been working for so long." ”

Gu Wanyin sighed in her heart, it was all at this time, but the second wife had not seen the situation clearly. If it really had to stop, it would have stopped a long time ago. The court will not be so nervous. And Zhou Ruijing will not be worried in the middle of the night.
